Ryan Walters, Purdue: Walters is in his second season as the coach at Purdue, coming off a 4-8 campaign in 2023. Although Walters had stops as a defensive coordinator at Missouri and Illinois, he acknowledged that he met some challenges in his first season as the leader of a program. Throughout the offseason, Walters said he “learned a lot” in his first year with the Boilermakers. Walters’ second season has gotten off to a roller coaster start, with Purdue defeating Indiana State 49-0 in the opener and falling 66-7 to Notre Dame and Oregon State 38-21 in the first three games of the 2024 campaign.

Matt Rhule, Nebraska: Rhule is in his second season with Nebraska after leading the Huskers to a 5-7 record in the 2023 season. Known for his ability to rebuild programs, there was a lot of hype surrounding the 2024 campaign in Lincoln. Rhule’s team is off to a 3-1 start, with the lone loss coming to Illinois in overtime on Sept. 20. Nebraska’s calling card comes on the defensive side of the football but has made significant strides overall with quarterback Dylan Raiola running the show. Prior to his arrival at Nebraska, Rhule had stops with Temple, Baylor and a brief stint with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. Rhule has an overall record of 55-51 across nine seasons in college football.
